11:00am | Snowe calls for compromise.

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), a moderate Republican Reid hopes to bring over to support his proposal has released a statement calling for bipartisanship to end the negotiating impasse.

“Time is of the essence, and the moment has long since arrived for shelving politics and instead striking the right policy. Hopefully now all sides will work together in an expeditious manner to work out the issues and bring us closer to agreement. I do find it rather ironic that for this entire year, this Senate, described as ‘least productive’ at a time that coincides with one of the most challenging economic periods of our nation’s history, has done nothing substantial, rejecting numerous opportunities to pursue policies important to our job creation, boosting our economy, and doing what is right for the fiscal stability of our nation.”

Snowe wants to fold and help Dingy Harry out, but I think her wishes are dead in the House.

Bipartisanship in her world means, “Bend over, Dingy Harry’s driving.”

President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality

http://blogs.forbes.com/peterferrara/2011/07/28/president-obama-is-no-longer-tethered-to-reality/

Finally on Monday night, Obama threatened America’s seniors with more, saying that if House Republicans don’t agree to his tax increase to increase the debt limit, “we would not have enough money to pay the bills — bills that include monthly Social Security checks.” This can only be described as calculated deception.

Then why has Reid tabled two bills instead of allowing members to debate? ==> He's using you, again [obamacare]
